            Bug ID: 97266
           Summary: "enum constant in boolean context" warning seems
                    incorrect
           Product: gcc
           Version: 8.3.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: mfarazma.ext at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

```
#include <iostream>

enum ValidateFlag : int8_t {
   a = 0, b , c
};

int main(){ 
  bool t = static_cast<bool>(c);
  return static_cast<int>(t);
}
```

Compiling the above code with `g++ -Wall test.cc` generates this warning:

warning: enum constant in boolean context [-Wint-in-bool-context]

The behaviour doesn't seem correct as `c` is just an `int8_t` value, and
casting an `int8_t` value to `bool` does not generate any warnings:

```
  int8_t c = 2;         
  bool t = static_cast<bool>(c);
  return static_cast<int>(t);
```

Having only 2 values in the enum also makes it compile fine:
```
enum ValidateFlag : int8_t {
   a = 0, c
};
```
